When traveling in a small boat, I always try and cut the waves at around 45deg. Even if I have to zig zag to where im going.
If the waves are bigger than your boat though, you are supposed to hit them dead on or it could flip you at an angle.[/quote]
I hadn't heard that last part, good to know. If the waves are that big, it makes sense that the boat would flip easier at an angle than dead on. But as long as the waves are smaller cutting them at a 45 will reduce the amount you bounce around.
I sure hope I can convince him because I'm dying to catch some fish and I'm starting to despise Willow.
